    Dependent Types: Runtime assertions at compile time...whaaa? (S04E08)

    Dependent types are a more expressive type system in programming languages used to catch a larger class of errors at compile time.

    APL: You need a special keyboard to program in this language (S04E06)

    APL is an array based programming language developed by Kenneth Iverson in the 1960s. Its central data type is the multi-dimensional array and hence it's very useful for workloads involving a lot of matrix math. APL predominantly uses symbols and it leverages consistent composability and execution rules to enable it as a notation as a tool for thought.  Links/Resources:* https://mathspp.com/blog/why-apl-is-a-language-worth-knowing* https://www.quora.com/What-made-APL-programming-so-revolutionary?share=1* https://tryapl.org/* A Personal View of APL* Notation as a Tool for Thought* Heaviside Operator Calculus* Conway’s Game of Life in APL* Maxwell’s Equations: From 20 to 4* Alan Kay’s answer to “What made APL so revolutionary?”* Testimonies    * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27463149    * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27464005    * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27465512* https://github.com/razetime/ngn-k-tutorial/blob/main/01-intro.md00 - Objectives and Prerequisites | "Learn APL with Neural Networks"https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3315454.3329960 Chapters:[00:00:00] Intros[00:03:36] What is APL?[00:05:42] Yes, it uses weird symbols[00:06:51] A language should change your thinking[00:13:08] Notation as a tool of thought[00:20:33] Connections to functional programming[00:28:23] What it feels like to program in APL[00:33:10] APL and IBM = big bucks[00:35:20] The echos of APL in modern data science tools[00:43:52] APL for big data pipelines[00:48:56] APL for Machine learning[00:54:59] APL for JSON manipulation[01:03:18] APL as a spreadsheet language[01:16:11] Superhuman programming: APL and LLMs[01:26:59] Making APL more explainable[01:38:18] Outro ===== About “The Technium” =====The Technium is a weekly podcast discussing the edge of technology and what we can build with it.
